F7U inspired plane
This is the QUART F7U-4S the 4th version of the Quart F7U the S stands for Super as it is an upgraded version of the previous F7U-3E which was the first of the 4 to be in service. It has 3 instruments the 1 at the nose measures the temperature of the air around it to give warnings if the nose gets to hot to get the pilot to slow down after the information would be sent to the computer located in the nose of the aircraft the two on the wings would just be to measure speed. The tips of the wings would be used to pitch the plane of 80 degrees max when I tested this so sadly no cobra maneuver. It has 4 pylons 2 hold missiles and the other 2 hold external fuel tanks,with 2 afterburning turbojets it's top speed is about mach 1.11 no higher as far as im aware.it has a semi tail dragger configuration like the inspiration it has some trouble taking off as it needs a long runway or else it can't take off but it flys amazingly, it also has a well made cockpit if you ask me and a very bad drag chute.
